Hard to say. More HF-# phones could increase the supply (for folks just looking for a HF-# (any #) phone, and potentially decrease the price they'd be willing to pay for one. On the other hand, now that there's an HF-2, there could be a premium on having a complete set, which could drive up the price of HF-1 phones for the folks buying HF-2 who now might be very motivated to add an HF-1 and who might not have previously been looking to buy an HF-1. The release of a limited number of HF-2's can have market effects in both directions on the perceived value and selling price of an HF-1 for different buyers, depending on their interest. I'm going to take a guess that the HF-2, in raising the visibility and interest in the HF phones in general (as well as in getting some "collect the set" interest going), will increase the selling price of the HF-1's in existence. Such a guess is a purely academic exercize for me, though, because I have no HF-1, the value over which to be concerned.
